    For a braver set you never met no matter where they go

    Roscomroe
    Kinnitty
    Composed by:- Jack Corcoran, Derrykeale.
    1.
    Sit down you gentle muses before I bid adieux
    A little while in pleasure I mean to spend with you.
    It grieves my heart from you to part but here I cannot stay.
    For I must go arriving to reach Americay.
    2.
    Farewell to friends and parents and the girl I do adore.
    I'll think all on my comrade boys when on a foreign shore.
    I'll think all on my own true love that is most dear to me
    In the course of time I may roll home
